Betting On Super Bowl

Betting On The Superbowl LIII

Super Bowl LIII will decide the NFL champion for the 2018 season. The game is scheduled to be played on February 3, 2019, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Super Bowl 2019 Predictions

Los Angeles Rams have been favourites to win the Super Bowl 2019 for most of the season, but in-form New Orleans Saints have joined them at the head of the betting.

The Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers round off the top five and it’s difficult to imagine the winner coming from outside this quintet.

The Saints have swept all before them since losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, but there remains a suspicion that they may have peaked too soon.

The Rams and Chiefs demonstrated their attacking prowess against each other during November, with Los Angeles securing a remarkable 54-51 success. Both teams look capable of going deep into the play-offs.

The Patriots and Steelers look set to fight out who will be the AFC’s second seeds behind the Chiefs and slight preference is for the former.

New England are chasing their fourth appearance in the Super Bowl in the last five years and that experience could prove crucial down the stretch.

Their hopes will undoubtedly hinge on keeping Tom Brady fit, but if the quarterback stays healthy they look one of the most solid Super Bowl predictions around.

Super Bowl 2019 Odds

The Super Bowl outright market is one of the most popular with Canadian punters, with the odds fluctuating every week as the season progresses. Check out the latest Super Bowl odds:

The Patriots are an experienced side who are hoping to claim their sixth Super Bowl when they take on the Eagles. Unsurprisingly, the Patriots have been priced up as the 1.50 favourites with William Hill for this showpiece event. The Eagles have attracted plenty of support however and they can be backed at 2.70 to pull off a shock result in Minnesota.

The Eagles have kept it tight throughout the season and they are likely to frustrate their experienced opponents. Under/Over 48.5 on the points spread is where the line has been set by the online bookmakers and this is an intriguing prospect for bettors. It’s 1.91 with Sports Interaction for either selection.

The points spread began at 6.5 but due to popularity has been reduced to +/- 4.5. Punters can back the Eagles with a +4.5 head start at 1.91 whilst it’s the same price for the Patriots to win with ease and cover the -4.5 spread with 5Dimes.

There are a number of prop bets available on both sides including New England Patriots to have a total of two touchdowns at 4.25 with Sports Interaction whilst Bodog Sports offer 2.80 for the highest scoring quarter to be the second.

Super Bowl 2019 Markets

Super Bowl 2019 is sure to be another terrific showdown and online bookmakers will be offering thousands of different markets on the game.

The match spread is always the most popular market and this is available with every Canadian bookmaker.

Last season’s match-up between the Eagles and Patriots saw the Super Bowl betting set at +4.5/-4.5 which left little margin for error.

The bookies were anticipating a close contest, but the Eagles defied the odds by securing a 41-33 success.

There are generally alternative spreads available with the likes of Sports Interaction and Pinnacle, although backing at +5.5/-5.5 would have resulted in shorter odds.

The Over/Under Total Points market is always popular and doesn’t require predicting which team will come out on top.

Last year it was set at 48.5 with many pundits expecting a low-scoring game. However, a 74-point total comfortably blew prediction out of the water.

The simplest bet is the moneyline which require punters to predict the winner. The Patriots were priced at just 1.50 to win the match, but the Eagles came out on top to send many bookies home happy.

Super Bowl 2019 Props bets and Alternative Bets

Whilst many bettors will focus on the match markets, there are a number of prop bets and specialist markets which offer a more light-hearted look at the Super Bowl 2019.

Most of the fun markets revolve around the half time entertainment. One such example is the ‘Will Justin Timberlake be wearing a hat at the start of his show?’ market. Some bookmakers also offer bettors and fans the chance to predict what colour he will be wearing during his performance.

Another fun market is ‘How long will it take Pink to sing the National Anthem?’ with the options set at ‘Over 2 minutes’ or ‘Under 2 minutes’. Overs is the clear favourite at around 1.70. There are additional options such as ‘Will Pink forget or miss out a word from the National Anthem?’.

One of the more bizarre offerings is ‘Will “Nipplegate” be mentioned during the broadcast and it’s a short price that the commentators and pundits will reference the now-infamous event.

Back to the football, it is possible to wager on which coach (Bill Belichick or Doug Pederson) will be shown first one screen once the broadcast gets underway and Tom Brady is odds-on favourite to be the first player shown singing the National Anthem ahead of the game.

There are a number of fun bets to keep fans entertained throughout the broadcast and they are a great way of potentially making some money without predicting the outcome of the contest.

Superbowl LII Results (2018)

A number of top Canadian bookmakers have already priced up Superbowl LIII with the Patriots fancied to bounce back from their disappointment in Minnesota. They are currently priced at +450 with William Hill for success in 2019 with the Green Bay Packers and this year’s success story; the Philadelphia Eagles joint second favourites at +900. The Jacksonville Jaguars, who were narrowly squeezed out by the Patriots during the Conference Championship can be supported at +2500

Bodog Sports have the Patriots at a slightly bigger price of +600 with many NFL pundits not convinced that Tom Brady will be able to have the same influence on his side next season. The draft will play a big part in shaping the market and if Nick Foles is traded, he could once again have a huge influence on next season and Superbowl LIII.
